Bayt Nuba ((アラビア語:بيت نوبا)) was a Palestinian Arab village, located halfway between Jerusalem and al-Ramla.〔 Historically identified with the biblical city of Nob mentioned in the Book of Samuel,〔 that association has been eschewed in modern times. The village is mentioned in extrabiblical sources including the writings of 5th-century Roman geographers, 12th-century Crusaders and a Jewish traveller, a 13th-century Syrian geographer, a 15th-century Arab historian, and Western travellers in the 19th century. Depopulated by Israeli forces during the 1967 war, it was subsequently leveled by military engineers using controlled explosions, and the Israeli settlement of Mevo Horon was established on its lands in 1970.〔(Legal Brief )〕 ==History== In Eusebius of Caesarea's 5th century ''Onomasticon'', the village is mentioned under the name ''Beth Annabam'' and is situated at a distance of 8 Roman miles from Lydda.〔Conder and Kitchener, 1883, SWP III, p. (14 ).〕 His contemporary, Jerome, identifies it as biblical ''Nob''.〔 During the Crusades, it was called ''Betynoble''.〔 The Crusaders identified Beit Nuba with biblical Nob,〔Stubbs, ed., 1864, (p. lxxxvii ).〕 as did the 12th-century Jewish traveller Benjamin of Tudela.〔 The village served as the forward position for Saladin's troops for their move towards Jerusalem in September 1187 and later for Richard the Lionheart and his troops who camped there in 1191 and 1192.〔Pringle, 1998, pp. ( 168 ), ( 224 ),( 337 )〕 Writing in the 13th century during the time of Mamluk rule over Palestine, Yaqut al-Hamawi, the Syrian geographer, noted of Bayt Nuba, that it was, "A small town in the neighbourhood of Filastin (Ar Ramlah)."〔Le Strange, 1890, p. (415 ).〕 A road from Ramla to Jerusalem that passed through Bayt Nuba, al-Qubeiba, and Nabi Samwil was the preferred route for Christian pilgrims to the Holy Land at the time.〔Pringle, 1998, p. ( 168 )〕 On the maps produced by the Palestine Exploration Fund, the road, which stretches from al-Qubeiba to Jerusalem, is marked in the legend as a Roman road. Mujir al-Din al-'Ulaymi (1496), the Jerusalemite ''qadi'' and Arab historian, discussed the village's name in the context of other villages beginning with the word ''Bayt'' ("House"). He noted that conventional wisdom among the locals of his time held that they are named for Hebrew Bible prophets that were thought to have resided there in antiquity. He also delineated the village as forming the westernmost limit of what was considered the area of Jerusalem at his time.〔Moudjir ed-dyn, 1876, pp. (202 ), (230 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bayt Nuba」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
